Spurred by angst over the continued waste of federal funds on a failed Bureau of Land Management (BLM) agenda of illegally removing native wild horses and burros from public lands and the state of Oklahoma’s newly acquired blood lust for slaughtering America’s horses several equine welfare groups, and their members, will be staging a press conference and rally in opposition to the BLM’s Advisory board meeting to be held on March 4th in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

The BLM’s Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board meeting will commence at 8:00 AM at the same location and date as the Equine Advocate’s press conference and will be streamed live at http://www.blm.gov/live/

The BLM board will be receiving public comments at 3:30 PM, directly after the press conference and rally; advocates and concerned Americans are urged to comment or view. Registration for comments concludes at 2:00 PM and the BLM will be restricting speakers to 3 minutes or less.

This is wonderful, I so wish I could attend !!!!!! I am hoping all goes great !!!!! May the wings of truth and justice guide all of you !!!!!!!!!! and bring back the Freedom to roam free for our Mustangs………………… ………………….

I wish I could be there, hope all goes well with the Press Conference. It is insane to have all of those horses captive and for tax payers to be carrying the burden, I don’t pay American taxes but I do pay Canadian taxes and I wince at every $ they spend wastefully.
